Stand upon the Rock

Exodus 33:
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Like Moses, we want to see the glory of God manifested in our lives. God didn’t show his glory to Moses but He asked Moses to stand on a rock by the side of God. The rock is the image of Christ (1 corinthians 10:4).

When we stand on the Rock, the glory of God will pass us by and the hand of God will cover us and protect us against every evil.

When we stand and build our lives on the Rock, we will stand firm even in the time of troubles and storms (Luke 6:48)

When we stand on the Rock, streams of living water will flow from our bellies and the grace of God will be sufficient to us.

David wrote in Psalm 62: “1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.”

No matter what can come on my way, as we stand upon the Rock we are more than conquerors and we shall not be moved but we shall always overcome.

Stay Blessed!!!

A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith

  Sermon:  "A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith” by Fleury Ndongozi Introduction: Dear friends, today's reflections draw inspiration from the sons of Sceva in Acts 19:13-16.  13  Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”  14  Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.  15  One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?”  16  Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. This narrative reveals the dangers of a secondhand faith, emphasizing that relying solely on external factors, even with a priestly heritage, does not guarantee genuine spiritual security. I. The Sons of Sceva's Background: These young men had

The impact of foreign and online ministries on local churches

Introduction In today's global Christian world, foreign and online ministries are growing and impacting local churches. Drawing from my own experiences with these external ministries, I aim to explore how they influence local churches, the theological implications, and the specific challenges faced by diaspora churches, especially African diaspora, trying to replicate their homeland models in foreign settings. I will discuss the pros and cons from a theological perspective to understand their impact on local church life. Considerations of Foreign Ministries Pros of Foreign Ministries Foreign ministries bring global perspectives and new approaches that can enrich local church practices. Theologically, the concept of the universal body of Christ supports the idea that the Church is not limited to any single culture or place. Philippians 2:4 encourages believers to look beyond their own interests and consider others', suggesting a collaborative relationship between local and forei

When generals fail their soldiers

”And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.“ Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ A few years ago, I had the privilege of preaching a message entitled "Don't bury your general alive," emphasizing the importance of supporting and protecting the servants of God.  Today, I'd like to share some thoughts on the reversed event and talk about "When generals fail their soldiers," where I want to address some issues church members can encounter because of the misbehavior of pastors in the church.  The topic of this message might not be popular, but my prayer is that you might know the truth that can set you free These points I want to share are not just theoretical; I have encountered them personally or have served as a counselor to those who have gone through the same issues. It's a topic that weighs heavily on many people's heart, knowin
